Dear Sweetheart

Dear Sweetheart How do I say goodbye? My pen it seems so suddenly shy I search for angels nearby But ours is not to question why Some thoughts of you tempt us cry Remembering the rainbows you made us ride The lines delivered waves of your tide The words you use painted and dyed Earths promise of eternity turned into a lie The day we learned that you had died After weeks and weeks we blindly spied Your words were absent from our eye's Your forest had turned to desert dry Some of us asked why you turned aside Some never doubted and silently cried She left no comment or even reply Just a message that she might die Even so death is a surprise I wouldn't have sent you this goodbye We don't have you but we have your supply Now that you have wings use them to fly

Hi John, I don't visit Poetrysoup much these day as I am devoting my time to writing a novel, but I do drop in from time-to-time. I was so saddened to hear of Linda-Marie's passing. What a beuatiful heartfelt tribute you have written for her. Lainie
